Workshop: Enhancing Visual Processing Skills

Saturday, 3 March 2010, 9am - 1pm

“My child has a poor memory – she can't remember things that she has just learnt the day before!” one mother commented. Another complained, “My poor child is very clumsy. He is always knocking into things or falling over objects!”

Do these children have poor memory or poor eyesight? Or something more serious, e.g., a Visual Processing Deficit?
Come and find out if your child has such a deficit and learn how you can minimise the effects and help your child maximise his potential!

Areas covered:

a) Overview of a child's vision development

b) The effects of poor visual processing skills on the quality of life

c) How to identify if your child is “looking” but not “seeing”

d) The importance of integrating all the senses in the development of visual skills

This important workshop will be conducted by Ms. Teo Lee Fun, a dedicated Occupational Therapist with close to 30 years of experience. She started her professional journey at Melaka Hospital and subsequently, KLGH. She has been in private practice since 1985 and frequently updates herself with the latest techniques (among others, MORE Approach and Therapeutic Listening).

Ms. Teo has a deep interest in working with special needs children. She also frequently shares her experience and knowledge via public lectures and worskhops.
